Okay! After that entertaining intermission, lets get on with the rest of the awards! I don't know about you guys, but I feel I've just been touched by something... a strange sensation... almost as if the future arrived here on stage and enveloped us for a moment or two.

Anyway... Rogue, please clear your fluid from the floor - that X-Wing petrol will be murder to get out of this dress! - and we'll carry on .

[SHOW CONTINUES TO COMPLETION]

[ALMOST AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED!]

[IT REALLY IS OVER NOW]

Unless...

Yes I was looking forward to No Man's Sky, yes I even made the thread but, maybe unlike the people who voted for me and who aren't themselves capable of this, I was able to keep my hype in check; I enjoyed the game but was also able to admit it was lacking on what was promised, and more than a slight disappointment. I then moved on to play something else, choosing not to join the arguments that followed for pages and pages after. (I didn't join in because I could see it from both sides.) So I really do not see how NMS destroyed my life.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for not being able to attend the live event, and accept my award. The No Man's Sky Survivor's Group meeting overran when, once again, we all met up in the same room but failed to see one another.I would also like to thank everyone who won, also those who were nominated and those overlooked for making my 2016 that little bit less shitty. Thank you. Thank you also to Jawa for doing such an amazing job of the awards once again. Well done all!

I would like to thank all the people who voted in either GRecommends or in the Game of the Year Awards last year. They would be nothing without the participation of the forum, so thank you. And thanks to Jawa too for doing things like this and his relentless positivity (apart from when it comes to Playtonic ).
